生物工程理学硕士-生物材料与组织工程

生物材料和组织工程领域的研究涉及材料和结构的研究和开发，以改善患者的生活质量。这些材料可能是合成的，天然的或基于细胞的材料，旨在协助病理学或损伤的诊断，监测状况并改善或恢复人体的正常生理功能。身体。生物材料科学是材料及其与生物环境相互作用的研究，组织工程是工程学和生命科学在生物材料开发中的应用，以恢复，维持和改善组织功能。这个跨学科和多学科领域的研究涉及学者，行业，政府和诊所的工程师，外科医生，材料科学家，生物学家，化学家，牙医和兽医之间的合作。生物材料科学是材料及其与生物环境相互作用的研究，组织工程是工
Our interdisciplinary Master of Science (MS) program in Bioengineering is designed for students with different backgrounds, including students with a BS within the STEM fields, students who would like to strengthen their academic credentials or portfolio prior to applying to medical school, and professionals within biotech industry looking to strengthen their technical background, redirect their specific expertise, and broaden future employment opportunities. The bioengineering master's program offers three concentrations: cell and tissue engineering, biomechanics, and biomedical devices and bioimaging (see details below). Bioengineering is a rapidly growing sector of the engineering profession. The aging of the U.S. population and the nationwide focus on health issues is carving a central role for the field. Bioengineers are advancing understanding of physiological processes in health and disease, and improving methods and devices for diagnosis and treatment. Located directly adjacent to the world-renowned Longwood Medical Area in Boston with the world's prestigious hospitals, and nearby Cambridge, a hub for pharmaceutical research, Northeastern provides an excellent opportunity for students to combine engineering, medicine, and biology through education, research, and professional experience with Northeastern's top-ranked cooperative education program.<br><br>Students who join the biomechanics concentration will cover multiscale mechanics, including whole-body movement, mechanical properties of biomaterials, and fluid mechanics of physiological fluids. The two courses required of all biomechanics concentration students are Multiscale Biomechanics (BIOE 5650) and Musculoskeletal Biomechanics (ME 5665).
